nolander001 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 So I'm putting a l28et into a 280z and I'm in way over my head with doing the engine wiring. Since I'm swapping into a z will I use all the connectors on that harness or will there be connectors that are unused? Or is there anything special I need to know about this swap? Im about one week from shipping it to a shop to get finished lol but I really don't want to do that unless I absolutely have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Why wait a week? There's all kinds of special you need to know. Check bunblezee's thread. You haven't said what engine management system you'll be using. http://forums.hybridz.org/forum/90-l-series/ https://www.google.com/search?q=Needing+some+wiring+help+with+l28et+swap&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS584US584&oq=Needing+some+wiring+help+with+l28et+swap&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolander001 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 All stock for now just want to get it running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 "Stock" 280Z EFI systems won't handle a turbo well. People do it but it takes some in-depth engine management knowledge to make it work. If you take it to a shop they won't know how to make it work either. You are in over your head, there's no easy way. You could just leave the turbo disconnected and use the 280Z EFI system to run the engine. It will just be a low CR L6 engine. Drivable with much less chance of blowing up. Seriously, there's much more involved than what type of connector to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolander001 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Well when I said stock I meant that I have both the 280z and zx turbo ecus. And I'm asking will I see all the connectors on the wiring harness or will there be stuff I leave unplugged?

jacky4566 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Are you using the stock N/A harness? You might need to add a few plugs because I know the turbos had an extra thermosensor on the back (passenger side) of the head. And a knock sensor.
